About RANAX

American Funds Strategic Bond Fund Class R-1 is an actively managed mutual fund specializing in intermediate core-plus taxable bonds. The fund’s primary objective is to achieve maximum total return while maintaining preservation of capital. It invests predominantly in bonds and other debt securities, allocating at least 80% of its assets to these instruments, which may include both U.S. and non-U.S. bonds as well as derivatives. Notable features include a broad and flexible investment mandate that spans corporate bonds, government securities, and emerging market debt, aiming to capture opportunities across various interest rate environments and credit cycles. The fund is distinguished by its substantial scale, holding thousands of issuers and a significant proportion of assets in U.S. bonds, making it a representative participant in the fixed-income market. Its portfolio turnover and diversified exposure contribute to its role as a core holding or complement in a diversified fixed-income allocation for investors seeking efficient total return strategies consistent with risk management and capital preservation principles.
